As for our area, drug use is a big concern. I decided to look at this problem through the eyes of my 15-year-old who is in 9th grade at one of our local high schools. According to our youngest, the students that abuse drugs at his high school come across as ‘always on edge’, meaning they seem paranoid. He also states that these students get into trouble more often than those students that do not associate with drugs. The students that abuse drugs tend to have an argumentative persona, that they agitate fights. As for physical features, some are very skinny and overall appear small. He notices that quite a few of these students have ‘tics’; they are constantly moving their bodies and struggle to be still. He has also noticed that lots of these students will avoid eye contact and law enforcement. Unfortunately, he has witness, whom once were his friends, commit crimes such as vandalism and stealing.
